Waiting for the next big story?

Terrorism . . . natural disasters . . . gun violence . . . Covid scares . . . what next? How else will those in the media world continue to focus upon fear-inducing subject matter. Many today are so focused upon the news that we are living in fear every minute of the day . . . almost waiting for the next big story.

Yet we who trust in the Lord and His promises . . . we who know the future . . . we can rest in Him and know He is still in control. We have read the prophecies. We know what is going to happen to the world, those who trust in its promises, yet we also know what our future holds. 

Rather than seeing the world as doom and disaster, we see the things non-believers cannot. We see sun bursting upon the horizon in the morning and the soothing beauty of a sunset. We hear the calls of the grackles and sweet melodies of the sparrows. We observe nature and see God still at work . . . providing and protecting for even the smallest of creatures. 

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled; Though the mountains shake with its swelling. (Psalm 46: 1-3)
We have eyes to see and ears to hear the things of God. We also have the duty to share this Good News rather than spread the propaganda of the media! So what is the next big story?

We all are held accountable for all we do . . .

Even a child is known by his deeds, whether what he does is pure and right. The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the Lord has made them both....
